Chemical Tree and Shrub Programs are not the answer. Chemical Programs pump the plants full of nitrogen, which cause the plants to grow quickly and develop large leaf surfaces. These leaves are really tasty to pests because when you push a plant to grow, it has fewer resources to put into defending itself, so pests love it!

The soil in your yard is not exactly virgin forest soil. In many cases, its recent basement soil doesn't hold a lot of nutrients and can be very low on biology. Soil biology plays a huge role in both feeding and protecting your trees and shrubs from pests. There are studies that show when under attack from a pest, the plant sends a signal through its roots to soil bacteria, which then triggers the plants natural defense system to discourage the pest. Without good soil biology, you'll be more likely to need chemical pesticides! Therefore, the foundation of our tree and shrub program is adding beneficial microbes and natural botanical to enhance good soil biology.
